BEAUTIFUL, sunny day in England today! I hope it continues, but doubt it somehow! We had a drama today though - we went walking along the tow path of the river a couple of miles from where we live. Lily is a brilliant swimmer and dived straight into the water and swam out into the middle of the river after a stick and was having a great time! Well, we walked a little way further and then realised she wasn't following. I called her and she still didn't come (which is strange), so we walked back and she was in the river next to a bank that she just couldn't pull herself up onto. So, Rob climbed down to pull her out, which he did, but in the meantime, Pompey had decided to help in the rescue attempt and managed to fall in too!! So, I grabbed a stick for him to clamp his teeth to so we could pull him out (he weighs about 6 stone!) and whilst we tried this, Lily jumped in again!! While pulling Lily out (again), Rob fell in!!! Although it was stressful at the time, I am laughing whilst I type this!! LOL! So, Rob lifted Pompey out, and while he was trying to get Lily, Pompey fell in again!!! Can you imagine? He lifted Lily out and I tied her to a tree while he lifted Pompey out and I tied him to a tree! Now, how does Rob get out? Well, it was a sight for anyone watching! I am a real girl and had my VERY impractical pink wellies on which made me slip and slide around and nearly fall in myself! Eventually, he managed to get out and had to pour the water out of his wellies and walk around to dry off! What a morning! Only in my life could this happen. I am exhausted now - the whole process was about half an hour and VERY draining, but VERY funny when I think back to it!

Back to business, I am really excited about my new kit "Doodle-iscious" - it is colourful and really fun (I think)! I had great fun making it using my graphics tablet - how did I ever manage before I had it? And, as I said before, I've made some brushes of the doodles to match - I amaze myself with my technological advances since I started designing! I would love to hear your comments on this one - I feel like I am improving in my work, but it's nice to know what all my lovely blogettes think! Grab the patterned papers for Doodle-iscious here.

Vicki what a shame you didn't have the video camera, Funniest Home Videos would have loved your morning. Love the doodles - are you using a tablet ? I am after ideas because I am getting one end of the week for an early Mother's Day gift.

Hugs from Australia (I am down in our nations capital today dealing with very Yes-Minister type public servants !)

Oh Vicki!!! What a hilarious story!... AFTER the fact!!! So glad all turned out well, if wet, for everyone. LOVE the doodles!!! YAY!!! Such fun to watch your progress and growth, you are doing such a magnificent job of it all. So happy that you have a tablet now and have expanded your creativity even further with it, these are GREAT!!! You're so talented. What a fun kit this is going to be, bright cheery colors and delightful doodles!

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh as I read your story. The images in my mind were awesome. Thank you for the wonderful laugh.

These colors and doodles are amazing. You are definitely advancing in your designs. I always look forward to checking your blog for your new creations and to read your ever-so down to earth writings. Thank you!!

That's really a hilarious story! I can actually imagine myself and my guy in similar funny situations, but only because we sometimes like making fun of ourselves. heheh. thanks for sharing and thanks for the papers :)

I live in the beautiful county of Somerset in England with my gorgeous hubby and two labradors, Pompey and Lily.
In my non-virtual life, I work as a client support manager for a marcoms agency in Bath where I've been for 12 years. I get to work from home 4 days a week which is fantastic and lets me spend lots of time with the dogs!
